You Get A House

Quotidian bullshit

This OP meme was brought to you by a product of the public educational system.

Actually, the public education system is funded by landed interests which is why the science of economics is left out.

Gtfo of here with that bullshit

Insults mean you have no logical counterpoint.

Not an insult, just telling people the truth about your statement

Aside, do you think you will ever be a homeowner or just a renter!

If I decide to start a business, I might buy into the property ladder. Reason #1: being close to one's joint is so advantageous. Reason #2: if I start something, I would hope it will be a good enough project to warrant continuation and being connected to the property should assist in that end.

So you’ll join that which you detest.

I don't detest land ownership. I just think it should be available to everyone on an equal basis.

Why stop at land, why not cars, boats, stereos…all on an equal basis..

Smdh

Land is not a product of human labor and it's everyone's daily source of life. Without equal access to land, we live on a giant plantation, not in a free country.

"Wherever, in any country, there are idle lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right." - Thomas Jefferson

Yes. It's common knowledge among deeper thinkers.

"As soon as land becomes private property, the landlord demands a share of almost all the produce." - Adam Smith

"Monopoly of land is the basis of monopoly in capital." - Karl Marx

"Wherever, in any country, there are idle lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right." - Thomas Jefferson

Move to Cuba or NoKo.

Those places have even more centralized land ownership. Why would a renter or potential home buyer want to move there?

Land is stuck in corporate farms or held by generational families that haven't yet sold out. The government than subsidizes the crops grown making it a incentive to grow certain crops without bearing the risk of bad weather or drought. This has down falls because of soil erosion and bad farming practices. After the seed is bought, chemicals applied gas in the machine, repairs and new million dollar equipment upgrade, plus irrigation expense if you are so wealthy to afford, farming is a wash for the little guy. Cash crops go to fuel cars and feed livestock. Farmers with 100 of acers are the ones putting kids through public schools, upgrading the fire station and library, and paving the roads in some states. Just be cause they haven't given up the generational farm stead. Even after the local government tries to tax them out of their home and property.

Farmland is overpriced because the tax system keeps land hoarding (not farming) profitable. As long as land is profitable to own as a store of value, the profit to workers will be minimized.

land ownership profitability is artificially generated because the government, both state and federal, restrict housing and its usage to keep the demand far above supply.
If the government was out of the system land would be substantially cheaper than it is now.
Remember, land is for housing and farms, not for your portfolio.

Monarchies arose where there was no tax on land ownership. The "laissez faire" economists said the antidote to feudalism is the single tax - eliminate all taxes except one, on land ownership. Because that would free everyone from taxation while decentralizing land ownership.
